In an unofficial hearing at the National Press Club in Washington, several former members of Congress are hearing from UFO researchers who hope to pressure the REAL Congress to order the military to disclose what it knows about alien visits.
AJ Clemente, on his first day as a TV anchor for the NBC station in Bismarck, was struggling to pronounce the name of the winner of the London Marathon, Tsegaye Kebede, and he wasn't getting it, and not realizing the red light was on, he let loose.
The latest from the Homeland Security committee seems to confirm what a lot of people still find hard to believe. The Tsarnaev brothers acted on their own, and used the kind of commonly available equipment and explosives that anyone could buy - and buy legally.
On Tuesday, $200 billion temporarily vanished from the stock market because of a bogus tweet. It was back seven minutes later, which is reassuring. But how it happened at all is not reassuring.
I thought that was an interesting question - what if you're driving along and you suddenly come to your senses and realize you're too drunk to drive - and you pull over to sleep it off. Should you get a ticket?
Don't look for any sign of freshmen, dairymen, or even penmanship in any Washington state laws, after Gov. Jay Inslee signed off on the last phase of a six-year effort to make sure they're all gender neutral.
In hindsight, the biggest red flag waving above Tamerlan Tsarnaev was the request from Russian Security agents that the FBI question him about how radical he was.
Senator Charles Grassley says since the two Boston Marathon Bombers weren't born here - it might be prudent to take a closer look at the immigration bill now before his committee.
It was a little disconcerting for people who are already worried the effects of health care reform. Senator Max Baucus - a democrat - who not only voted for health care but was a key player in designing it… was worrying aloud at a Senate hearing that the government is screwing it up:
I admit I do. That sound we've heard again and again - the sound of two bombs exploding in the middle of a city. Tearing into people who had just come to see a race. You want to punish whoever did it.
The U.S. Senate will have an all- out gun debate. It's a debate the gun rights lobby did not want, and one group plans to punish the senators who LET it happen - especially Pennsylvania's Pat Toomey, who was on CBS's Face The Nation trying to be reassuring.
The film "42," starring Harrison Ford and Chadwick Boseman comes out this weekend. It's the story of Jackie Robinson and his history-making year as the first black player to ever play major league baseball. And it turns out a couple notable Northwest names played a part in his story.
I'm fascinated with this story out of the Tri-Cities in which a florist refused to sell flowers to a gay couple getting married. The latest now is that the couple, like the Attorney General, are suing the florist and are being represented by the ACLU. This leads to a lot of really interesting questions.
